most of the bands in this genre are hated because of their lack of creativity and boringness (Asking Alexandria Attack Attack are the main culprits), but these bands have risen above gained a moderate amount of respect. Which one do u guys think is the best of this style of metalcore? if u want to waste ur time and put "they all suck" then thats fine too I guess. Also, when i say modern metalcore, i mean the bands in the style that would be signed to rise records, so if u hate every single band that plays that style then u wont like anything on this list.

The screams that Chris belts out on this album are among the best in metalcore. The keys also add an interesting vibe to the music. Although their guitars and drums are nothing special, and their breakdowns range from boring to laughable at times, they still managed to make this album very solid. I enjoy how they actually stand for something, unlike most of thebands in the genre.

Ah the infamous TDWP. Until Zombie was released, these guys got zero respect and tons of hate, and for good reason: they sucked. But with Zombie and Dead Throne they showed the world that they had the ability to make interesting, sophisticated, thought provoking, extremely fun metalcore. Some dont see the improvement, but I personally dont see how anyone can deny how far this band has come.

"Modern metalcore, though, would be Misery Signals. The rest on this list are shit excluding MIW and TDWP."

when i say moder i tend to mean the type of bands that would be signed to rise records. bands like misery signals are in a class of their own haha. the best metalcore band in my opinion is underoath though

because, for the third time, those bands dont fit the "riserecordscore" style. this list only deals with that style of metalcore and converge, underoath, and misery signals and bands like them dont fit that bill at all. maybe ill put that in the description so everyones clear on it

these bands are good at what they do. and everyone makes lists on converge and the other great metalcore bands, so i decided to make a list on the bands that are actually decent that play the style of metalcore that people generaly hate

Architects would get my vote but their a bit different from these bands. Out of these TDWP wins for sure, they've been around for a few years and their sound has completely evolved over their past 2 albums and The Zombie Ep.

"Well then why don't you change your list title to RiseRecordScore Style Metalcore Battle so that I and others can avoid your list? That is really inconsiderate of you."

because people will think "asking alexandria...hell no" when these bands are way better. i might as well name it: worst bands ever battle. sorry that u dont like the list but im not putting a "hey this list is full of terrible bands" target on my list. not everyone dislikes these bands

I like the Flood, a couple Word Alive songs and the last few TDWP albums even though I used to hate that band with a passion. I usually despise this kind of metalcore but there's a few bands that became good enough to become a guilty pleasure.

I don't know man, I think alot of people like The Plot In You but you gotta remember all these bands have multiple albums and TPIY only has 1. Besides that album only has a few good songs, the rest is pretty meh.

I think his point is "of all the bands that sound the same and could be called generic on a daily basis, which one do you think is actually good/the best despite the fact they don't do anything groundbreaking...if any."

"Seriously though, I think that you could have put We Came As Romans on the list."

i put these bands on the list because i think theyre pretty solid for the most part and because they have gained a decent amount of respect. not only do i dislike we came as romans, but they have a much worse rep than these bands

Eh, The Word Alive are pretty terrible. TDWP was bad until their last couple releases. OM&M were getting better, but their clean vocalist left which will make them not as good. MIW are generic, but a better generic. As a Christian, their lyrics are offensive which is a turn off for me, but they are solid nonetheless. Memphis May Fire may be the best risecore band ever. Matty Mullins is the best vocalist in metalcore today. Another band I would put on the list is For All Those Sleeping, maybe even My Ticket Home

i dont think the word alive is all that bad. memphis may fire is good. i agree about tdwp. and i agree that om&m will be going down without their clean vocalist. i like spencer from underoath best in metalcore though

Don't expect any typical Converge/Integrity/Misery Signals/etc. listeners to appreciate any of these, decent as some may be. TWA wins on this list imo. Those guitarists are among the best in modern metalcore.
